Hmm, that's a good point, it would have been much more visible if all |
| 7 |
the notes were at the end of a large emerge, and perhaps also |
| 8 |
automatically logged to a file somewhere for later review? I know this |
| 9 |
would have personally also saved me many headaches if I had noticed the |
| 10 |
output from vpopmail when I was trying to get it warning. |

I don't know how one would go about spitting all the stuff out at the |
| 13 |
end, as it is presently done with the ewarn/einfo functions in ebuilds. |
| 14 |
However putting a copy of the messages in a directory somewhere |
| 15 |
shouldn't be too hard, and this would go a long way to what we want, |
| 16 |
while being a useful feature in itself. |

Somebody did once submit this to the bugzilla tree, but it looks like it |
| 19 |
never went very far: |

I've copied the original submitter on this email, so that he hopefully |
| 23 |
sees it and checks if those patches still apply to portage. |

Agreed. I was merely inquiring if the warning had been seen or not. The |
| 29 |
developers have noted the need for a way to cause a set of packages to |
| 30 |
be rebuilt after a merge, as this issue has happened on two? packages |
| 31 |
now (libpng and mysql) I believe. The problem is that to effectively |
| 32 |
find out what packages need to be rebuilt, large parts of the system |
| 33 |
must be scanned (see the script in |
| 34 |
/usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/rebuilder.sh) |
